When you sign up to work at a union company you enjoy the benefits that collective-bargaining gets so you should understand that every few years this is a possibility. For over 30 years I have put $25-$30 a week in a savings account for every contract at the very beginning. Usually that’s about five or $6000. If I don’t use it, I pay off a bill or we go on vacation and I start a new one at the beginning of the next contract. Unlike 1997 people will receive money from the strike fund. The strike fund was never meant to pay all your bills.It’s the responsibility of a member, to put some money aside to help cover the cost of a potential strike.</blockquote>
